The Human Experience

The art work that stands out most to me is one that portrays a young boy as a soldier in the US Army. The human experience from this could be expressed as one of many, love, loss, pain, hope, despair, values, beliefs and as we hope not but even death. I think the artist had love, loss and pain in mind with the painting. This is meaningful to my life because I feel that this is a portrait of myself as a young boy. I joined the US Army at seventeen, finished my basic training, school house training and was shipped off to Iraq with my unit before I was even close to being eighteen. I believed in what I was doing, I lost a lot of family and some really great friends in that war. I too had a picture taken with my uniform and full battle rattle, as we called the bullet proof vest, on. In that picture I was all smiles but honestly I was extremely scared and felt almost alone. This picture shows a young man with the same uniform on smiling. It really takes me back in time and allows me to see what war did to the once innocent young smiling boy that I was. I still to this day believe in all I have done, know that somewhere in there I have done them for the right and values of America but still it bothers me now. It also makes me fear for the young boy in the picture, fear for the outcome that will happen.

The social views are simple, we are sending out our sons and daughters to fight a war for a political reason. Is that right? Not for me to even talk about there. The cultural value is to me that history repeats itself. Every war in history The Human Experience 4

we sent our sons and now even our daughters to fight. The morals views to me in my opinion are messed up. It wasn’t right to do it to start with but now that we have it’s morally wrong not to do it for those who already have....

...Aspect of HumanExperience Paper
Many historical events, acts of injustice, and moral dilemmas plagued the United States in the 1900s. During this era, the ruling social class held control over minority groups, and many ostracized members of society fought for equality. Some individuals employed the use of literature as a social commentary in their fight against injustice. “The Hanging of the Mouse,” by Elizabeth Bishop, “The One Who Walk Away from Omelas,” by Ursula Le Guin, and “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” by Martin Luther King evoke emotions and appeal to the society’s sense of justice. The stories portray the theme of injustice and criticize the moral life of the American society.
The writers employ different strategies to convey their ideas; however, each storyline relates to the concept of law and disorder and show connection in relation to characters, figures, and colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts. The writers employ the use of literary to express feelings and to reflect of happenings of a particular era. The written compositions are based on sufferings, and each storyline address the immoralities of society. In each work of literature, the author speaks about exploitation of the underprivileged.
In the story, “The Hanging of the Mouse,” the executioner is a raccoon. The author uses this animal to assume that role as raccoons, like executioners, have black masks. A praying mantis was in charge of the religious...

...Literature and Aspects of the HumanExperience
Literature offers a unique view into the humanexperience. Writers share their ideas about life through language, literary devices, and imagery. The humanexperience of love is one that every person can relate to. Three examples of literature that share this theme of love are: “A Rose for Emily”, “Love Song”, and “A Doll’s House”. Although some of the stories deal with family and parental love, this paper will focus on the aspect of romantic love. In the story “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner romantic love was between Emily and the doomed Homer Barron; the poem “Love Song” by Joseph Brodsky gives the declarations of a man in love; and finally in the drama “A Doll’s House” Nora is fighting for the romantic love of her husband Torvald Helmer. Love is a shared theme in these stories, and the literature portrays this humanexperience in ways that allow the reader to better understand the mystery of romantic love.
Romantic Love
The story of “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner tells the sad tale of Emily Grierson. The story opens with Emily’s death. Her mortality sets the mood for this story of loss and sorrow. Although Emily has issues with parental and family love in this story the theme of romantic love is one that is truly tragic. Emily is the protagonist of the story. Her desire for...

The HumanExperience
"The HumanExperience" is a spellbinding, real and fascinating
movie. This movie is one of the best documentary films of the 21st century. It
totally touches on every feeling that a human can possibly feel. From the
saddest to the happiness of total euphoria. This movie is a spiritual and
uplifting masterpiece seen through many different eyes. It's explained and
expressed by all walks of life everyone from clergy, the homeless, the rich,
deceased, edcuated, and even from different origins and cultures of the
world. "The HumanExperience" is a truly magnificent experience. I would
recommend this movie to anyone that wants togain knowledge of how
important family is. I would never get tired of watching this documentary.
This film is about 4 teenagers who come from less fortunate
backrounds. Their parents were not there for them nor did they have the
family that they have always dreamed of, all they have is each other. Well
to begin with I must say the guys who starred in the film did a great job
performing because they were real people, living real experiences with
disturbing realities based on the sole truth of the situation. As our journey
begins the guys decide to find out what living on the streets and eating out
of the trash as well as...

...Each piece of literacy is unique as it is shaped by the place and time in which it is written and the experiences of he who wrote it. In turn those to encounter the text will be effected, making each text a humanexperience. Shakespeare’s Othello reinforces the idea that literature is shaped by humanexperience and its counter act. During Shakespeare’s time there were events major disturbance, social and cultural crisis that shaped the language, imagery and character in his plays. Shakespeare’s mastery of plot development, character development and language, makes his works important in the study of literature throughout time.
It is commonly believed that the eyes are windows to a person’s soul. However, Shakespeare allows the audience and reader of the play to see the true character through his words, giving words and the language of the characters great power.
A technique that Shakespeare employs to great effect, is the use of the most poetic and lyrical language on that of the villain, Iago. This technique sets Iago apart from the other characters and makes it easier for the audience to understand how Othello is drawn into Iago's deceit.
Opposite to Iago’s complex lyrical language are Othello’s lines, written in prose. The difference in their dialect represents their differences including race, status and good vs. evil. It also stands as a representation of the audience Shakespeare wrote for,...

The Essential HumanExperience
In his essay, “Human Dignity,” Francis Fukuyama discusses his fear of a technological future that includes bioengineered humans and artificial intelligences and how they would affect the human status quo. Steve Olson’s “The End of Race: Hawaii and the Mixing of Peoples” complements these issues as he discusses the effects of physical appearance in determining humanness and yet in all actuality humans are essentially equal. Pat Cadigan’s short story, “Pretty Boy Crossover,” paints a hypothetical picture of Fukuyama’s fears for the future and how that may affect Olson’s working definition of human equality. Looking at all three writings leads one to question how we quantify consciousness, which is an essentially unquantifiable trait. However, in Cadigan’s hypothetical universe, humans have supposedly discovered a way to quantify consciousness and download people onto computer chips where they can exist perfectly indefinitely in cyberspace as glorified and idolized artificial intelligences. Moreover, Cadigan’s writing, much like Fukuyama, questions if these cyber-manifestations are truly human anymore. Taking all three writers into account, it would seem that it remains a challenge to define what it is that makes us human, especially with the continuing...

The HumanExperience
This film was very meaningful to me because the two guys went out of their way and sacrificed a lot of their own personal comforts to experience what some unfortunate people experience everyday in their lives. To put yourself in someone elses shoes is not easy because it may not be something you're used to so it can be very difficult for some people to deal with.The part in the movie that moved me the most was when the guys went to the orphanages and stood by the kids side as they went through treatment for their variety of disabilities. It couldn’t of been easy to witness all these young kids going through all this pain and not being loved by a parent so thats why the brothers went there to comfort them and love them. I think that experiencing an adventure like this would be very memorable and life changing and would be something I would like to experience.
Everyone is equal to one another. No matter what someones status is in society or the way they look, they should not be treated any differently than any other human being. Everyone is created equal and always will be. The life and dignity of the human being is one of the seven social catholic teachings that is portrayed in this film.
